TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. WILSON, of Freeport, in the county of Stephenson, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns, and do hereby declare that the foilowing is a i'ull, clear, and exact description theueof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A represents the churn-box, which is made in. any of the known and usual ways, and provided with a curved or conca-vc bottom. B represents a shaft, which runs across this box, having its bearings in the end pieces of said box., and provided with a handle, as seen, by

means of which it is rotated. E represents a wheel, which is secured upon this shaft B about centre Way of the box.` lhe periphery of this wheel is about a halt` or ve-eighths of an inch from the bottom of the box. C C represent triangular pieces of board, which are secured to the sides of the wheel E at regular intervals. (')ne edge or one side of the triangle of each board is secured to the wheel in the line oi' the radii oi' said wheel; each triangular board being secured at an angle to the wheel, or with its outer or upper angle at a. short distance from the periphery of the wheel. D represents a triangular eoneavo-convex hoaid,u\'l1ich is I secured upon the periphery of the wheel,and also to the outer ends of the triangular boards CC. When the concavo-convex board D is secured upon the wheel, a triangular recess is formed on each side of the l wheel. Each board D, when used with the wheel E, and two triangular boards, C C, forms two recesses or chambers, near the periphery ofthe wheel'. Eight of these recesses are here formed, though more or less may be formed upon the wheel, as the builder ofthe churn may desire.

In using this churn'theshaft B is so revolved that the cream or milk will be caught in the recesses or chambers F F, and thrown ot violently at a tangent against the sides oi' the churn-hox. 'Ihe cream is not only cut and broken by the edges of the boards forming the trianfrular recesses, 'but is dashed against the Q sides of the box, whereby great agitation is effected, and the butter-is quickly produced.

What I claim is, the wheel E, provided with the triangular boards C C and D, whereby the chambers F are formed on each side of the Wheel, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 28th day of January, 1867.

GEO. W. WILSON.
